Question 889412: I have a problem that I'm trying to solve involving secant and tangent line properties. In the problem, I'm given the formula A=1/2(C-B) and the problem gives me A=23,B=83, I have to solve for C. They want me to find the measure of major arc C!

given the formula A=1/2(C-B) and the problem gives me A=23,B=83, I have to solve for C. They want me to find the measure of major arc C!
:
A = 1%2F2(C-B)
Solve for C
multiply both sides by 2
2A = C - B
Add B to both sides
2A + B = C
:
When A=23, B=83
C = 2(23) + 83
C = 46 + 83
C = 129
